Another said: “You can bend anything and it will turn into a plate dude.”
McDonald’s have not commented on the tip, and it’s likely the large flap is needed to stop the chips spilling out of the packet.

Meanwhile, an employee revealed how to always get fresh fries.

He told The Sun Online: “Order your chips without any salt because then we have to make a fresh batch of fries.

“We also have to clean out the tray that the fries are stored in to make sure no salt gets on them.”

He said to visit the chain just after peak times when the menus are changing over because that is when the food will come out the best.

The employee said: “The peak times are eight and 10, 12 and two, and five and seven.”

He added that the worst times to come are during actual peak times because of how busy it gets.
